Proud of you guys. Way to be safe and take care of yourself.

Are you still seeing people resign and leave Uprr ? Just wanted to know if still happening in your area?

Which CEO was a good one ,with real common sense and knew how to guide the UPrr. ?

Found out the employee surveys are not confidential , they put a list on the depot wall of names for all those that did the survey. It listed employee number and size of the coat they gave you too. Won’t give you a coat if you didn’t finish the... — read more 

Those who left UP and started working for different class I railroad, did your vacation transfer or you started from the begging?

If the company really want to save money then look no further, get rid of those useless managers , employees doing Manager's duty's already!

You know it's going to happen next.

It has nothing to do with layoffs, but I was interested in the post where someone wrote that North Platte NE is one of the worst places to work in the system. I have to agree. However, I wouldn’t know which is the best place (i.e., the least bad... — read more

Anyone seen the nurses furloughed ? Just wondering since a lot of health info done on the up network now.

Fwd: Fwd:2022 psr plan is 15% reduction in the whole workforce. Profit driven.

Yard crews job..... why do we even have freight car repairmen anyways.

Is it worth hiring on in these locations as a conductor? Anyone know if it’s busy and if there is anyone laid off right now?

A former superintendent informed me that the freight car repairmen will no longer be necessary and layoffs are coming,! Get ready and start looking at your options !

It is wonderful to see their power of unity. Imagine if the railroad unions showed the same unity and did a spontaneous sick out or walkout in protest of the cr-p work conditions, pay, poor treatment, and mandatory vax. Sadly it will never... — read more 

It will soon be a craft of the past. Replaced with utility workers who will do most of the yard duties.. Bnsf did it and the cost reduction is significant. Work more with less.

Remember the lost car report? They used to offer beef steaks and other goodies to find them. Wonder what happened to that program. ?

Can someone please explain to me, because I really don't understand, how a company can value those who are lazy and do sloppy work more than people who are totally dedicated to their work and work to exhaustion every day? What's the catch?

Oh boy! I don’t know about you, but I could use the recognition of a decent contract the would make it worth coming to work for this shithole of a company! Trinkets are great and everything but I’ve thrown everything in my house that has Uprr on it... — read more 

Saw they’re needing crew callers at the Harriman. Good luck to the unlucky to transfer crafts or hired off the streets.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this company. Do you think the situation will get worse when it comes to cheating and stealing?

Did they have a derailment in the LA trench lately, the area of all the thefts and looting of trains ? Any known cause of it ?
